Nature based being will survive, indigenous traces
Nature based being will survive, the secret dance of snakes Tankian, the secret dance of snakes
We are the cause of a world thats gone, we are the cause of a world thats gone
Poets gone wild on the muse, we are the cause of a world thats gone wrong, poets gone wild on the muse
The secret dance of snakes, why dont you go photograph Serj, we are the cause of a world thats gone
the tales of it all
Apocalyptic days of now, run away with me now Serj, we are the cause of a world thats gone
The secret dance of snakes, everything that ever passed in time
Everything that ever passed in time, we are the cause of a world thats gone
Poets gone wild on the muse, poets gone wild on the muse, the secret dance of snakes
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all
When you see that honking antelope, poets gone wild on the muse
We are the cause of a world thats gone, the tales of it all
run away with me now
When you see that honking antelope, poets gone wild on the muse
Everything that ever passed in time, nature will survive us human dogs after all, prophets all destroying the tao
the tales of it all
Nature based being will survive, run away with me now, poets gone wild on the muse
Why dont you go photograph, poets gone wild on the muse
when you see that honking antelope
indigenous traces
Wouldn t it be great to heal the world, prophets all destroying the tao
the secret dance of snakes
the tales of it all
the tales of it all
Tribal chiefs, indigenous traces
The tales of it all, vanishing hereditary lines, poets gone wild on the muse
The tales of it all, vanishing hereditary lines, the tales of it all
Wouldn t it be great to heal the world, nature will survive us human dogs after all
we are the cause of a world thats gone
When you see that honking antelope, the tales of it all Honking, vanishing hereditary lines
Run away with me now, when you see that honking antelope, run away with me now
When you see that honking antelope, run away with me now, nature will survive us human dogs after all
Prophets all destroying the tao, vanishing hereditary lines Antelope, run away with me now
I don't understand how we have speakers in this world who can convey the simple notions of peace and have their words be virtually unheeded. "Wouldn't it be great if we could heal the world with only a song?" This is something I wish the leaders of this world would take time and think about. We as a species of humans all share this earth, the air we breathe, the resources we need to live, and we share the gods-given gift of song and language. Through song we convey messages that carry greater meanings and thought than anything a political minded leader or war hungry dictator could ever communicate. Music of this nature that calls out to the world, begging it to stop and look at what it's actions have and will continue to cause, is a power that few artists in our world today can grasp artfully. Serj Tankian is a man whom I regard as a soul who would wish to see this dream, this ideal of a world united by song, a reality. I want to see that day, to have hope in humanity that we can cast off these foolish notions of borders, race, religious ideology and dogmatic notions and come together as a whole, to look at our world we have begun to kill and to do what we can to undo our mistake before it's too late.
Man, I love this song. Sounds just like it could be on a SOAD album. I still find myself listening to this everyday. Been listening to SOAD since 1999 and been following Serj ever since he went solo.
The System Of A Down guys are simply the best. I love their music, their lyrics and their videos. And both frontmants have very good solo projects. Serj Tankian with his solo albums (I love ALL his songs, lrics and videos) and Daron Malakian with his band Scars on Broadway. Their lyrics are so true. No one can make critical lyrics better than them. But my absolute favorite is still Serj Tankian. I hope I can see him live anytime. (sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany :D)
It's funny how our brains associate certain stimuli with particular events or facets of life; like in the case of this song, I am immediately reminiscent of the cold winter months of when I first started listening to it. Great music regardless of what time of year ya listen to it. :)
Why don't you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time
Indigenous traces, tribal chiefs,
Vanishing hereditary lines,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,
When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
Nature based beings will survive
Apocalyptic days of now
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao
When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
Of it all,
Run away with me now
Run away with me now,
My life,
We are the cause of a world that's gone wrong
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,
Why don't you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Poets gone wile on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,
When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now
My love,
We are the cause of a world that's gone wrong
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,
We are the cause of a world thats gone wrong,
Wouldn't it be great to heal the world
With only a song.
